Introduction
On 25–26 July 2026, Milkshake Festival takes over Westergas with two days of dance music, performance and colour — an open-minded, LGBTQ+-friendly celebration where everyone is welcome to be themselves.
Milkshake is one of Amsterdam's most colourful summer festivals, known for its open, anything-goes spirit and a stacked line-up of dance, house and electronic acts across multiple stages at the Westergas. Flamboyant outfits are encouraged, and the crowd is famously friendly and diverse.
Why visit
If you love a vibrant, inclusive dance festival, this is the one. It's a ticketed, mostly 18+ event — book ahead, as it's very popular.
